OLLI-PEKKA KALLASVUO, NOKIA CEO:

“Nokia delivered 20% net sales growth year on year, with excellent market share gains in our device business. We saw impressive share gains in the fast growing emerging markets, where we continued to build on our clear number one position. Catering mostly to the emerging markets, our entry-level device business performed extremely well, driven by outstanding volume growth and a solid product portfolio. The strong growth in the entry-level coupled with a lower percentage of sales in higher end products impacted our margins.

In our multimedia business, we continued to perform well, with 45% year on year net sales growth in the third quarter. In infrastructure, Networks net sales grew faster than the market and we remain focused on improving profitability. Nokia and Siemens have made good progress toward the merger of Nokia’s Networks business group and Siemens’ carrier-related operations and continue to expect that operations will start in January.”

INDUSTRY AND NOKIA OUTLOOK FOR THE FOURTH QUARTER AND FULL YEAR 2006

·                  Nokia expects industry mobile device volumes in the fourth quarter 2006 to grow by 15% or more sequentially.

·                  We expect Nokia’s device market share in the fourth quarter 2006 to be approximately at the same level sequentially.

·                  Sales in our networks business are expected to grow sequentially in the fourth quarter, but at a rate less than previous years.

·                  Nokia expects that the mobile device market volume will be approximately 970 million units in 2006, while our estimate for 2005 was approximately 795 million units.

·                  We continue to expect the device industry to experience value growth in 2006, but expect some decline in industry ASPs, primarily reflecting the increasing impact of the emerging markets and competitive factors in general.

·                  Nokia continues to expect moderate growth in the mobile infrastructure market in euro terms in 2006.

·                  Nokia continues to target an increase in its 2006 market share in mobile devices and infrastructure.

Based on our preliminary market estimate, Nokia’s market share for the third quarter 2006 was 36%, compared with 33% in the third quarter 2005 and 34% in the second quarter 2006. Nokia’s year on year market share increase was driven primarily by strong gains in the emerging markets, particularly Latin America, China and Asia-Pacific, that more than offset market share declines in Middle East & Africa and to a lesser extent in Europe and North America. Sequentially, Nokia grew its market share most notably in Latin America and Asia-Pacific, followed by Middle East & Africa, Europe, North America and mainland China.

Nokia’s average selling price in the third quarter 2006 was EUR 93, down from EUR 102 in the third quarter 2005 and EUR 102 in the second quarter 2006. Our lower ASP in the third quarter 2006 was primarily the result of a significantly higher proportion of entry-level device sales. Sequentially, ASPs were also impacted by a lower percentage of sales in higher end products. The higher proportion of entry-level device sales was driven by stronger than expected market growth in the emerging markets and significant Nokia share gains in those same markets.

Business Groups

Mobile Phones: Third quarter 2006 net sales increased 14% to EUR 5.9 billion, compared with EUR 5.2 billion in the third quarter 2005, driven by strong volume growth, especially in the entry level, and Nokia’s ability to capture incremental volumes with its competitive entry-level product portfolio and strong logistics. Net sales increased in all regions year on year, with growth strongest in Latin America, China and Asia-Pacific.

Mobile Phones operating profit decreased 11% and totaled EUR 779 million, compared with EUR 880 million in the third quarter 2005, with an operating margin of 13.1% (16.9%). Reported third quarter 2006 operating profit included charges of EUR 128 million primarily related to the restructuring of Nokia’s CDMA business and associated asset write-downs. Operating profit excluding these charges for the third quarter 2006 was EUR 907 million, with an operating margin of 15.3%. The slight increase in operating profit, excluding these charges, for the third quarter 2006 was the result of strong sales.

Multimedia: Third quarter 2006 net sales increased 45% to EUR 2.1 billion, compared with EUR 1.4 billion in the third quarter 2005. Net sales increased year on year in all regions except North America and Latin America, where sales decreased. Multimedia net sales more than doubled year on year in China and Asia-Pacific. Net sales growth was driven by high volumes of Nokia Nseries multimedia computers.

Multimedia third quarter operating profit grew 49% to EUR 366 million, compared with EUR 245 million in the third quarter 2005, with an operating margin of 17.5% (16.9%). Operating profit growth in the third quarter 2006 was driven by strong net sales growth and positive operating leverage compared to the third quarter 2005.

Enterprise Solutions: Third quarter 2006 net sales increased 27% to EUR 257 million, compared with EUR 203 million in the third quarter 2005. Net sales increased year on year in all regions except Middle East & Africa and Latin America, where sales decreased. Net sales were positively impacted by strong year on year volume growth of mobile devices, especially the Nokia Eseries.

In the third quarter 2006, Enterprise Solutions had an operating loss of EUR 65 million, compared with an operating loss of EUR 37 million in the third quarter 2005. The increase in the operating loss was caused primarily by a higher marketing expense than in the third quarter 2005.

Networks: Third quarter 2006 net sales increased 16% to EUR 1.8 billion, compared with EUR 1.6 billion in the third quarter 2005. The increase in Networks year on year net sales was primarily driven by strong growth in the emerging markets, especially in Middle East & Africa where sales more than doubled. Net sales declined year on year in North America and to a lesser extent in Latin America.

Networks third quarter operating profit decreased 17% to EUR 131 million, compared with EUR 157 million in the third quarter 2005, with an operating margin of 7.3% (10.1%). The operating profit in the third quarter 2006 increased, in comparison to the third quarter 2005 excluding the special items during that quarter, as a result of strong sales.

It should be noted that certain statements herein which are not historical facts, including, without limitation, those regarding: A) the timing of product and solution deliveries; B) our ability to develop, implement and commercialize new products, solutions and technologies; C) expectations regarding market growth, developments and structural changes; D) expectations regarding our mobile device volume growth, market share, prices and margins; E) expectations and targets for our results of operations; F) the outcome of pending and threatened litigation; G) expected timing, scope and effects of the merger of Nokia’s and Siemens’ communications service provider businesses; and H) statements preceded by “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “foresee,” “target,” “estimate,” “designed,” “plans,” “will” or similar expressions are forward-looking statements. Because these statements involve risks and uncertainties, actual results may differ materially from the results that we currently expect. Factors that could cause these differences include, but are not limited to: 1) the extent of the growth of the mobile communications industry, as well as the growth and profitability of the new market segments within that industry which we target; 2) the availability of new products and services by network operators and other market participants; 3) our ability to identify key market trends and to respond timely and successfully to the needs of our customers; 4) the impact of changes in technology and our ability to develop or otherwise acquire complex technologies as required by the market, with full rights needed to use; 5) competitiveness of our product portfolio; 6) timely and successful commercialization of new advanced products and solutions; 7) price erosion and cost management; 8) the intensity of competition in the mobile communications industry and our ability to maintain or improve our market position and respond to changes in the competitive landscape; 9) our ability to manage efficiently our manufacturing and logistics, as well as to ensure the quality, safety, security and timely delivery of our products and solutions; 10) inventory management risks resulting from shifts in market demand; 11) our ability to source quality components without interruption and at acceptable prices; 12) our success in collaboration arrangements relating to development of technologies or new products and solutions; 13) the success, financial condition and performance of our collaboration partners, suppliers and customers; 14) any disruption to information technology systems and networks that our operations rely on; 15) our ability to protect the complex technologies that we or others develop or that we license from claims that we have infringed third parties’ intellectual property rights, as well as our unrestricted use on commercially acceptable terms of certain technologies in our products and solution offerings; 16) general economic conditions globally and, in particular, economic or political turmoil in emerging market countries where we do business; 17) developments under large, multi-year contracts or in relation to major customers; 18) exchange rate fluctuations, including, in particular, fluctuations between the euro, which is our reporting currency, and the US dollar, the Chinese yuan, the UK pound sterling and the Japanese yen; 19) the management of our customer financing exposure; 20) our ability to recruit, retain and develop appropriately skilled employees; 21) the impact of changes in government policies, laws or regulations; and 22) satisfaction of the conditions to the merger of Nokia’s and Siemens’ communications service provider businesses, and closing of transaction, and Nokia’s and Siemens’ ability to successfully integrate the operations and employees of their respective businesses; as well as 23) the risk factors specified on pages 12 - 22 of the company’s annual report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2005 under “Item 3.D Risk Factors.” Other unknown or unpredictable factors or underlying assumptions subsequently proving to be incorrect could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. Nokia does not undertake any obligation to update publicly or revise forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except to the extent legally required.
